United States' Lilia Vu holds the winner's trophy after the United States defeated Europe in the Solheim Cup golf tournament at the Robert Trent Jones Golf Club in Gainesville, Virginia.
Lilia Vu’s teammates ran onto the 18th green after her kick-in of a birdie putt gave the United States the half-point it needed to beat Europe, and U.S. captain Stacy Lewis scooped up her 5-year-old daughter, Chesnee, for a bear hug. Finally, the Solheim Cup was back in the hands of the Americans. The Americans took a big early lead a year ago in Spain but let the cup slip out of their grasp on the final day as Europe rallied for a 14-14 tie to retain it.
